MapKraft
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn walls, boxes, furniture, or any flat or curved surface into a moving, glowing canvas. MapKraft is a projection mapping app built for creators who want professional results without professional pricing or a bulky laptop setup. Most mapping software is built for editing suites and studios. MapKraft is built for your phone. Point your projector, open the app, and start warping visuals onto real surfaces in minutes. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH MAPKRAFT: Corner-pin mapping Drag the corners of your projection to match any surface, no matter the angle you're projecting from. Perfect for quick setups where your projector isn't perfectly centered. Mesh warp Curved surfaces, uneven walls, sculptures, and irregular objects stop being a problem. Adjust a full warp grid to bend your visuals exactly onto the shape in front of you. Edge blending Running more than one projector? Blend the overlapping edges so your final image looks like one continuous surface instead of two separate projections fighting each other. Multiple surfaces, one project Map several shapes within a single scene and keep everything organized without juggling separate files. Real-time preview See your changes as you make them. No render queue, no waiting, no guessing what it'll look like once it's live. Built for speed MapKraft is light, fast, and made to run smoothly without eating your battery or your patience. Open it, set it up, and get to the actual creative part. WHO IT'S FOR: Artists doing live visuals and VJ sets Event and wedding decorators adding a bit of spectacle Students and hobbyists experimenting with light and space Small studios and freelancers who don't want to pay for a full production suite just to map one wall Anyone curious about what projection mapping actually looks like once you try it yourself WHY MAPKRAFT: Projection mapping used to mean expensive desktop software, steep learning curves, and tools priced for studios with a budget. MapKraft strips that down. You get the core tools that actually matter, corner-pin, warp, and blend, in an app that fits in your pocket and doesn't ask you to sit through a tutorial series before your first project. We built MapKraft because we wanted to map a surface on a Tuesday afternoon without opening a $400 program first. If that sounds like you, this app was made for exactly that moment. GETTING STARTED: Open the app, connect or point your projector, pick a surface, and start dragging corners or adjusting the warp grid. Most first projects take less time to map than it took to read this description. Whether you're prepping visuals for a small gig, decorating a room for an event, working on a school project, or just want to see your favorite animation wrapped around a lampshade, MapKraft gets you there without the overhead.
